Google Fined Record $5 Billion by EU, Given 90 Days to Stop ‘Illegal Practices’

07/20/2018

Google
received a record 4.3 billion-euro ($5 billion) antitrust fine from the
European Union and was ordered to change the way it puts search and web-browser
apps onto Android mobile devices. The penalty -- the same amount the Netherlands contributes to
the EU budget every year -- is far higher than any other dished out by the
U.S., Chinese or other antitrust authorities.
